Germar from Mexico seems to me to be a distinct species. 

 Smilia vittata A. & S. is doubtless the same as camelus but 

 their fasciata is certainly a very distinct species which is inter- 

 mediate between this genus and Cyrtolobtis. It differs from 

 Smilia in having the dorsal crest highest at about the middle 

 instead of anteriorly, and from Cyrtolobas in having it more 

 elevated and placed more anteriorly. Smilia camelus I have 

 taken about Buffalo, in southern Ontario and at Atlanta, Ga. 

 I have a male from Austin Texas and Mrs. Slosson has sent 

 me specimens from Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, and 

 from Florida. The males are much smaller and darker than 

 the females as is frequently the case in the allied genera, but 

 always the dorsum is highest in front and slopes to the apex 

 before which the contour is more or less sinuated. 



2. Smilia fasciata A. & S. PI. 2, fig. 12. 



From Mrs. Slosson I have received a fine pair of this species 

 taken by her in Florida. They agree with Smilia in every 

 respect except in the form of the dorsal crest which is almost 

 semicircular in outline. The female is dark brown becoming 

 greenish grey anteriorly, and is crossed almost transversely by 

 a very broad pale green vitta from the lateral margin to the 

 highest point of the crest, touching the middle of this vitta 

 tangentially is a narrow nearly vertical hyaline vitta, posterior- 

 ly in the subapical sinus is a small greenish dorsal line. Elytra 

 nearly hyaline, rather broadly infuscated at apex. Length 

 nearly 9 mm. The male is smaller, 7 mm., nearly black on the 

 pronotum with the oblique vitta narrower and the median 

 carina pale before. 



This species approaches Smilia in the venation of the 

 elytra but in the form of the dorsal crest it is almost exactly 

 intermediate between this genus and Cyrtolobus. 



Genus Antianthe Fowler. 



Stal first described this genus as Janthe but as that name 

 was preoccupied Fowler renamed it as above in 1895, and in 

 1902 Kirkaldy, overlooking Fowler's name, again named it
